I cracked open this and Lemon Meringue Chai, and I must admit it took me a bit to determine which was which after sipping them. Now, they taste VERY different, it’s just that both have a lemon/bergamot angle to them… this one is much smoother, more rounded, a fuller taste to it. Creamy. I definitely get EG when I sit and think of it. Do I love it. Eh… it’s really good. It’s a bit shy of love though, perhaps because there’s a weird bitter taste in my mouth that’s pervading the end of the sip. This may however be from the Lemon Meringue Chai, so I’m reserving my full judgement until I have more of this solo.

I know what you’re talking about. When I have one tea right after another, I sometimes have trouble breaking down the taste. I think wine tasters have the same problem.

Bio

A few years ago, the obsession with tea started. The cupboard got bigger and bigger, more swaps occurred, group buys, secret rendezvous with local teapassionistas… and that’s how you end up with 500+ different kinds of tea in your home. At one time.

Almost all of the tea was given away, sold, or otherwise shared. A few relics still remain. I now travel full time with only two carryon bags to my name. One quarter of those bags are tea.

It’s still a challenge to avoid the chipmunk-like hoarding of The Teas, yet, the lightness of being from having so little compels me more.

If I have enough, I’m happy to share. If I’m in your area, I’d love to swap, meet for tea, and explore together.

As for the day-to-day stuff, I’m focused almost entirely on Love, (yes, with a capital L), Spirit/Self, transformation, travel and my writing and speaking work.

What kinds of teas do I normally like?

YES: flavored teas, fruity, dessert, chai, and spicy (REALLY spicy).

A FONDNESS FOR: all white teas, malty black teas, any herbal or medicinal teas, strange/weird teas you can only get in one place.

ALLERGIC TO: strawberries, lavender

DISLIKES: any added sugars, grains, lapsang souchong, and overly floral teas – I might enjoy a Jasmine Green every once in a while, but unless it’s a creamy floral tea (think roses in a chai, or the smoothness of a floral note in a French tea), I’ll likely pass. Earl Greys are a hit or miss with me; heavy on the cream or fruit notes and I might like it, heavy on the blergamot and I definitely won’t.
